Yes. The latch has always been taught but when I watched Bees v Stour at the start of the season I noticed quite a few Stour players pushing the ball carrier into contact. Unlike the latch the ball carrier loses control of where they are going and generally got smashed by a defender as they were off balance. No rules to say you can’t but is it as effective as a latch.... in my opinion.... no.
